Give Your 12′ Skeleton a Turning Neck #ElectronicHalloween
If you’re one of those lucky folks with the space for a 12′ skeleton you should absolutely give it a turning neck. Use this Instructable from jamiep for help:
This Instructable will teach you how to make an animatronic rotating neck for your 12’ Home Depot Skeleton or 12’ Inferno Skeleton. This will allow your skelly to look around randomly anytime it is on. The motorized animatronic neck looks lifelike and will bring another level of wow-factor to your display! I designed this in Tinkercad to use as many off-the-shelf parts as possible. Enjoy!
